Issue
Drug menace has spread its roots all over India
Mumbai Police is not out of place with their advice. Drug menace is still a concerning issue in India. In fact, worse thing is for most the habit starts in their teenage years, the formative years of a human being, according to a NCPCR study. Also, the drug menace isn't limited to Punjab and Delhi, but has reached Kashmir and Kerala as well.
Question
Government strategies aside, why not have a proper de-addiction plan?
Drug abuse has also taken another form nowadays, called substance abuse, which involves sniffing glue and snorting heroin, opium, among others. While government has brought many strategies and schemes to fight the menace, there should be a meticulous plan to help addicts ditch the compulsion. It doesn't take a genius to understand that it's extremely hard to come out of it.
